MOSS 2007 Content Deployment Problems
Hi, Can anyone help with some Content Deployment issues I'm experiencing? I'm trying to move content between two DEV instances of MOSS. Both servers report that they are build 12.0.0.6421. I have tried the following and have issues at every point: *1. Content deployment from CA on current host pushing to new host* Job is permanently stuck in a state of "Preparing" *2. Exporting/Importing site using Chris O'Brien's SharePoint Content Deployment Wizard* Exports successfully from host. No errors or warnings. Error on import on new host: "System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'Manifest.xml' because it is being used by another process." shown in GUI Error in log: "[11/2/2011 3:31:10 PM]: FatalError: The ' http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:attribute' element is not supported in this context. at System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet.InternalValidationCallback(Object sender, ValidationEventArgs e) at System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet.ParseSchema(String targetNamespace, XmlReader reader) at System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaSet.Add(String targetNamespace, String schemaUri) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.SPImport.CreateXmlReader(FileStream fs, String schemaNamespace, String schemaFile) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.SPImport.GetNextManifestFile(XmlReaderAndStream reader) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.SPImport.DeserializeObjects() at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.SPImport.Run()" *3. Restore from CMP file* Have tried STSADM Restore of files. Returns error: "Your backup is from a different version of Windows SharePoint Services and cannot be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be restored to a server with version '1178817357.0.25229151.0' or later." I can find no information on what version this is meant to be. I've exhausted all the things I've come across before or can find. I've run preupgradecheck on the current host and that reports "*Failed : Pending upgrade operation detected in this farm*". There has been no upgrade attempted that I'm aware of and I've run the config wizard again with it completing successfully. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: MOSS 2007 Content Deployment Problems
Hi, Just an update. I made some progress by running: " psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait" on the host where the pending upgrade was flagged. This completed and then Content Deployment started working. Now gets to the point where the Content Deployment job exports to the new server. Job then fails with: "Content deployment job 'Remote import job for job with sourceID = d5f5cedd-cc28-40b5-8dd9-c5f905f54e7b' failed.The exception thrown was 'System.IO.IOException' : 'The process cannot access the file 'Manifest.xml' because it is being used by another process.'"

RE: MOSS 2007 Content Deployment Problems
Hi Chris, I have never managed to get clean content deployment setup between two apps in different domains, or with different configurations. A few things you could check: Are both farms running 64-bit OS? Are they in the same domain? Are the log file paths the same in both farms? Have you tried turning off UAC on the destination farm?

Re: MOSS 2007 Content Deployment Problems
This looks tricky as stsadm - backup/restore is much more robust than stsadm import. In most cases when we had issue with export-import -- backup/restore has worked well. Can you do one quick test to validate if it's the data in site causing the issue by creating a new OOTB site collection and just put it 1-2 documents and items and see if that works.

RE: MOSS 2007 Content Deployment Problems
Yeah, it's starting to sound like a site level dependency. Try a full backup/restore job to an empty site. You might then be able to perform standard deployment jobs.
